Abstract
InP vertically coupled microdisk resonator/waveguide switching devices with an electroabsorptive (EA) active region are demonstrated for the first time. The devices exhibit single-mode operation, large free spectral range of 10.5 nm and a high quality factor of 5700. The EA effect provides a way of loss-trimming the resonant characteristics. Active switches, routers, and fast modulators based on these devices are envisioned as part of a WDM system.Keywords
